We are building a shared curriculum between Malawi and City Cottage in the USA. The curriculum should include all the pertinent contemporary topics including climate change, resource depletion, pollution, human rights, and globalization. There are considerable challenges including cultural and political taboos. You can begin organizing this curriculum. How to you navigate the cultural challenges with controversial topics in the classroom? How do you discuss women's rights with students in a culture that has different view of womens rights?
In the Sunzu Village, Rwanda, we have built a library. We are also preparing to building a community center and several other projects. We will have adequate rainwater catchment for all the water needs. However, rainwater can become contaminated after it is stored, so we need a means to make it drinkable, “potable”. KICKSTARTER from Fall 2017.
Aquaponics ?could be? an energy and water efficient agricultural practice that uses a system of water tanks filled with fish to grow plants for food. We're researching foreign and domestic applications for an aquaponics facility, particularly as horticulture therapy at a prison. From last year's class: Aquaponics

Indigenous US Americans
We don't have to go to beyond the boarders of the USA to find a foreign country and underserved communities. One example is below with the Navajo Nation. However, they are not interested in supporting a project this quarter, so you may consider finding another community within our national boarders to learn about and work with.
Insects for food and feed
Insects such as Black Soldier Fly Larvae and meal works may be a sustainable form of protein-rich feed for fish and chicken. Can we feed them with organic waste and food scrap? Can we eat them ourselves? This project from spring 2017, has a little bit to do with this topic. Bugs taste good?
